Giving this 5 stars based on the texture and how well it held together. But I used raw honey instead of agave, so I can't officially rate the taste it would have had. The flavors of coconut and honey were great together. But I don't think it was anything like an actual cheesecake, at least flavorwise. But it was delicious!
